Searails Power Max truck question

Anybody use this in their N scale size ?

Is it worth it the $ 100 + price tag ?

Has anybody used 2 to power a N scale Heisler or Climax ?

Is there RTR  N or Nn3 (Z) logging track and turnouts ?

Hello Richie,

The Nn3 & N versions of the Showcase Miniatures Climax & Shay kits only use one Searails PowerMax hidden in the rear water tank area. Peco & Rokuhan both sell z-scale track (used for Nn3 locos & rolling stock) with tie spacing that is very typical of what narrow gauge track looked like.

I have a Nn3 powermax, run pretty smooth.
